Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday album
Nicki Minaj’s first release, Pink Friday, is probably the worst music purchase of my life. I bought the album sometime late last year in anticipation of it having “Knockout”, my favorite Nicki Minaj song, on it. You know the drill: I got to the store, couldn’t remember the name …
The White Stripes - You’ve Got Her In Your Pocket (Song)
You’ve Got Her In Your Pocket is a song by the White Stripes which appears on their album Elephant. Opening up with an acoustic guitar pattern, Jack White comes in with a delicate and gentle vocal delivery for his first vocal delivery in the track. I should mention right …
Album : Crowbar - Sever The Wicked Hand (2011)
So, the buzz about this new album is certainly flowing around the heavy metal landscape as anticipation rises to near manic status. I was blessed with an advance copy of this album to have a look at and i must say that i am pretty underwhelmed by the whole …
P.E. 2000: Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
Puff Daddy ft. Hurricane G.
“P.E. 2000″
Forever
Bad Boy Entertainment
Director: Martin Weisz
I’m not quite sure where things exactly went wrong for Puff Daddy. Perhaps he was lacking in what he does best or perhaps people just got tired of the Shiny Suit Era that he created? All I have to say …
Doggystyle - Snoop Doggy Dogg
I thought that Doggystyle by Snoop Doggy Dogg was and still is a classic rap album. I remember in 1993 hearing about the album coming out and I just could not wait to go to my local music store to purchase it. I purchased the album on the day …
Fuck you right back by Frankee
Fuck you right back by Frankee is a reply to Eamon’s song fuck it. It is the other half of the story because every story has at least two sides and some times more. This is the girls side and I like it better than the guys side …
Serj Tankian’s Elect the Dead Album
After System of a Down broke up, the lead singer Serj Tankian decided to do his own solo album and after a bit of a wait, we got Elect the Dead. In all honestly, while I would have preferred a regular System of a Down album over this, this …
Avril Lavigne Goodbye Lullaby music album
This is Avril Lavigne’s senior effort album and I think it shows. It’s got a more mature sound with less poppy music —“ OK maybe not so true about the pop part. But it brings me back to her earlier solid efforts with quality music. Also, …
Lady Gaga (performer)
It seemingly happened overnight, but the incredible success of Lady Gaga in the music entertainment world is pretty hard to avoid being at least marginally aware of at this point. She has become a mega-celebrity, hailed as a shape-shifting, provocative pop musical genius along the lines of Madonna, if …
Singer Avril Lavigne
I am not personally a big fan of Avril Lavigne, I don’t enjoy the way she jumps from ‘punk rock princess’ to ‘pop queen’ every ten minutes, it gets annoying after a while. She should stick to the genre in which she is best at, that being new age …
Riot by Paramore
Paramore’s latest album Riot was a total hit. This rock album has 14 songs on it. All different, some slow, some fast, some hard rock, some soft rock, all with a different meaning. It has For a pessimistic, im pretty optimistic, That’s what you get, Hallelujah, Misery business, when …
Start a Band
I think the song and video titled “Start A Band” with Keith Urban and Brad Paisley is a cute, upbeat song. The music and lyrics blend very nicely.
I didn’t realize they had collaborated. I think they have done a good job with the song. Their voices blend …
Here I Am by Leona Lewis
I have heard from the radio that Leona Lewis is a winner of a show in Europe, I think in United Kingdom. If I am not mistaked, she won that ‘X-Factor’ show. After making that hit song ‘Bleeding Love’, I think the song ‘Here I Am’ as another great …
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
However, if there was ever a time when his self-proclaimed ‘King of Pop’ status was justified, the Thriller era was it. Jackson’s 1982 album release ‘Thriller’ was one of the largest commercial successes …
The Righteous Brothers (musical group)
I think that one classic soul group a lot of people, young and old would be familiar with would be the one called “The Righteous Brothers”. While I don’t think that a lot of young people would necessarily know the group immediately by name, since I didn’t either …
Mule Variations (Tom Waits Album)
“Mule Variations,” though maybe not his most appreciated album, is probably in my top five by Tom Waits. It’s gritty, folk-based, but not really limited to genre. While not every track did it for me, the ones that did nailed it. And of course, with any album by Waits, …
The Beatles - Octopus’s Garden (Song)
Octopus’s Garden is a song by The Beatles which appears on one of their final records, Abbey Road. As you can tell from the title, the track may not come off as the most serious of tracks and it certainly isn’t but you’ll be able to tell this from …
Maneater
Maneater by Nelly Furtado is a true song for a lot of chicks now days because they make guys fall in love with them left and right and then they make them do what they want. It kind of sickens me even though I have got guy friends that …
Iron Maiden - Revelations (Song)
Revelations is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Piece Of Mind. The track starts off with a moderately-paced riff which has a nice and heavy sound and allows room for an interesting bass fill by Harris in between the riff as well. The riff for …
Andy Griffith: Precious Memories CD
He’s an actor and a comedian, but Andy Griffith is also a singer and he loves gospel music. That’s why we have Andy Griffith: Precious Memories CD, a group of 33 songs. It’s pure gold because it’s Andy, some harmonic background vocals, and great instrumentals to back …
Animal Collective - Untitled (Song)
Untitled is a song by Animal Collective which is the third track on their debut record Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished. Opening up with a mess of instruments, the song is characterized by a very hectic and even dissonant tone in my opinion. The noise that was present …
Motorhead - Bomber
Overview —“ Bomber, Motorhead’s fourth album is an album that I feel is often overlooked due to both the record which followed it and the record it precedes. A lot of times when Motorhead is mentioned the albums to really get mentioned are Overkill and The Ace Of Spades, …
All Time Low Album: Don’t Panic
As of October 9th I am a proud owner of my favorite band, All Time Low’s, new album called Don’t Panic. I was wary when I first listened to the new CD for several reasons. They are back on a small label, this was …
Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow song
Boom Boom Pow is the new song from Black Eyed Peas. Like their previous song, it’s still a lot of beat, groove, and really nice to dance.
But, first time I hear this single, I can’t directly recognize that is the Blak Eyed Peas, because though the music is still …
Animal Collective - Throwin The Round Ball (Song)
Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High
This is the second album of Fall Out Boy that I’ve heard. It’s really good, but for some reason I love the first one (From Under the Cork tree) better. I was watching (guess what…) MTV (again! Is anyone seeing a pattern here?) and I saw the music video …
Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
The first time I heard this song was at an open air food court while having supper with a friend. I liked it a lot, and after that I went straight to get an MP3 copy of it from the Internet, burnt it into a CD and have been …

A Truck Driving Son Of A Gun by Red Sovine
The song A Truck Driving Son Of A Gun by Red Sovine is an up beat tempo song. It was a song that my dad used to play all the time when I was a kid growing up. My dad typically would play it when we were driving back …
Pink Floyd - See Emily Play (Song)
See Emily Play is one of the early singles released by Pink Floyd which never appeared on a studio record but did show up as a single and then on some reissues of early records or compilation albums. The track starts off with a nice psychedelic sound organ lead …
Tal Bachman by Tal Bachman CD
This CD has a great sound to it, definitely worthy of a review for epinions. If you don’t have this one, you need it!
Tal Bachman’s self titled CD includes the mega hit She’s So High, the one we all know and love. This CD was released in 1999 …
Lily Allen-It’s Not Me, It’s You (2009)
This cheeky singer is probably most well known for her hits —˜Smile’ or —˜LDN’. Well, she is back with a more entertaining, grown up perspective on life, love and most other things under the sun with her new album —˜It’s Not Me, It’s You’. Her first release, whilst great pop …
Evacuate the Dancefloor
I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …
The Doors - Hello, I Love You (Song)
Hello, I Love You is a song by The Doors which appears on their album Waiting For The Sun. The track opens up with a quick drum burst before leading into the main rhythm which is certainly quite distinctive and unique and has come to be associated with The …
Slowdive - Souvlaki (1993)
I have no idea how I started listening to this band. I think it was because of the style they were playing, dubbed shoegazing, and that sounded pretty interesting. I was thinking, what can shoegazing be, or what sort of a music is that, and so, I stumbled upon …
Barbra Streisand: A Collection - Greatest Hits … And More CD
Barbra Streisand: A Collection - Greatest Hits … And More CD is just what it says, a collection of Streisand hit records plus a couple of new things. From reading the liner, it appears from her note that one of Streisand’s big concerns of the days was saving …
Green Day - Before The Lobotomy (Song)
Before The Lobotomy is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. The song starts off with a clean guitar riff that has a pretty melancholy tone to it and just a sad tone overall. Once Armstrong comes in with the very melodic vocal …
Green Day - Holiday (Music Video)
Overview —“ Holiday, the third music video released by Green Day for their album American Idiot is pretty much the prequel to the music video, and song, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams. I’m not really sure why Green Day chose to release Boulevard of Broken Dreams before Holiday since Holiday …
Skindred-Babylon CD
I heard the song “Nobody” on the radio and loved its unique style. It was a mix of rock and reggae with a catchy chorus and a great beat. Unfortunately, it seems the Skindred may end up a one-hit wonder because the rest of the CD is …

“A Woman’s Threat” is the second official single and music video from his fourth solo album “TP-2.COM”, following the previous “I WIsh” and its remix. R. Kelly dons both braided and puffed-out hairdos in different scenes, all which consist of a library (which looks it’s …
Vegeable by Radiohead, track
Vegetable is a track off of Radioheads debut album Pablo Honey which was released in 1993.Vegetable is listed on the album as track number 8. I personally think that this song is an infinite times better than “Creep”. It is such a catchy song and actually rather relaxing.
The song …
Creed Full Concert DVD in Chicago
One of the most successful rock band Creed, has released a new live concert dvd in support of the Album Full Circle. It features the whole concert in Chicago and it was one of the concert DVD’s that I thought was really tampered with. I Think since Scott Stapps …

My December - Kelly Clarkson
Kelly oh Kelly—¦ I remembered Kelly on the first time she showed on the first season of American Idol. She was so gorgeous! I bought this album, My December, last December. This is the kind of album that rocks all the way! Kelly shows more of her maturity in …
We Sing, We Dance. We Steal Things by Jason Mraz
Almost all the songs in We Sing, We Dance. We Steal Things by Jason Mraz are amongst my listening taste buds. Jason Mraz is a synonym name to talent in my world of music dictionary. And of course the ever so popular track I’m Yours is included inside. …
Sublime - Badfish (Song)
Badfish is a song by Sublime and is the seventh track on their debut album, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Beginning with a recording of some background noise before an acoustic guitar enters the track, I must admit that Badfish has always been one of my favorite songs from this …
Winner (song) by Jamie Foxx featuring Justin Timberlake and T.I.
I was searching for a positive affirmation quotes on the net when I bump on this lyrics. Then I remember from reading the lyrics that I have heard this song playing as the background song for NBA Playoffs. In addition, I was right; it is the official song for …
